Volunteers

Our school is supported in many ways by our families and the greater community.  

There are many ways whānau can be involved in the school.  While parents are always welcome in the classrooms we regularly ask for specific items or skills through the school newsletter.   

We have active links with Taranaki Seedsavers and are the guardians of the purple shelling pea which children grow and sell each year while adding to the seed stock and keeping it viable.  Our students occasionally participate in the local crop swap at Waitoriki Hall when we have excess produce to share. We also support the Waitoriki hall in numerous ways including the Christmas market and  writing  letters to accompany funding applications. The students are developing the community food forest on the vacant land behind the hall. 

Parents and grandparents are encouraged to attend our fortnightly assemblies.  Assemblies regularly require audience participation in one way or another to keep them interesting for our whanau.

We rely on parents as our main form of transport to any EOTC activities including inter-school events and school camps.  Those parents staying overnight on camp are required to complete the police vetting process through the school office.
